"Of course." A different upbringing than Billy Taupe's certainly molded him that way. Taking pride in that all the more now. "I don't believe anyone deserves to be cheated on. But maybe... things do happen for a reason," Voice spoken softly to the brunette, a smile pulling at his features. "Maybe sometimes things are written in the stars– as they put it." he chuckles, feeling embarrassed for wording it that way. He couldn't help saying foolish things around her as much as he couldn't help the sparkle in his eye staring smitten at her, she was something he wanted to keep as all his forever. "Anyway.. should we get going now, Lucy Gray?"

lucy gray couldn't help the blush that spread across her cheeks at coryo's words, a grin tugging at the corners of her lips. ❝ there's something special about you, too, darlin'. you certainly know how to treat a girl right. ❞ lucy gray told him truthfully, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. ❝ maybe fate brought us together. maybe i was meant to be cheated on in order to find my way to where i was supposed to be. ❞ she meant with him, of course. it was too soon to tell, but lucy gray was sure that this could be love, or as close to it as she'd ever get.

"Well, I am happy you get to experience it. You deserved that a long time ago." Coriolanus portrays a sweet smile, finding it his obligation to keep being talented in being the superior boyfriend. "Because, I..." Genuinely stumped, shying up in the middle of answering, obviously there was some real feelings on why she captivated him so much but he didn't realize one day he'd have to confess to them, "because you're different, Lucy Gray. There's something special about you." Blues flicker up to find her doe eyes, smiling softly. "I'm surprised you don't see why."

❝ that's incredibly sweet of you, darlin', guess i'm still getting used to what it means to be with a gentleman. ❞ she smiled small at coriolanus, eyes meeting his once more as she finished while he got ready to pay the bill. ❝ really ? what makes me so special that you'd spare me a glance when i've noticed you have never once looked at another girl that way ? ❞ lucy gray just wanted to know what he saw in her that he hadn't seen in other girls. if he had, clearly he'd be taken already. he was gorgeous and surely many girls wanted to be with him. there was no way that anybody didn't want to be with coriolanus.

i never understood what made your lips on my neck such an intimate affair until your teeth grazed my pulse and i realized you could tear open my throat and make me bleed out in your arms， but instead you chose to kiss.

[ofdrivensnow]

a tender glimpse beneath the surface

❝ i'll always protect you. ❞

❝ i never meant to get this close, but now that i have i can't let you go. ❞

❝ i live for the moments when you look at me. the rest of the time i'm just existing. ❞

❝ i don't like how you make me feel. but i like not being around you even less. ❞

❝ i wish you wouldn't look at me like that. when you look at me like that i...it makes me wanna do things i shouldn't ❞

❝ there's no line i wouldn't cross for you. don't you realize that? ❞

❝ i did this for you. no one else. ❞

❝ i don't like it, but i'll do it for you. ❞

❝ i wonder how much of myself i'll have to give to you—how much i have to lay bare—before you realize how much you're taking. ❞

❝ i'm not trying to fix you. i'm just trying to be your friend. ❞

❝ i'm not um, real good at thank yous. or sorry's. but if you ever need me, i'm there. i owe you one. ❞

❝ i've seen you at your worst and i'm still standing here. ❞

❝ you've seen me at my worst but you're still here... ❞

❝ you can be mad at me, i can take it. i'd rather you be angry than shut me out. ❞

❝ i'm not angry, i'm just scared. ❞

❝ i know you love me, but do you like me? ❞

❝ do you think i'm a good person? ❞

❝ do you think i care for you so little that betraying me would make a difference? of course i'm helping you. ❞

❝ tell me what i can do to show you how i love you. i will give you anything you ask for. ❞

❝ you don't have to keep apologizing. just be here. day in and day out and prove that you're gonna keep showing up. that's all you have to do. ❞

❝ i only sleep well when you're next to me. ❞

❝ i don't want an apology i just want to understand. ❞

❝ i could actually use a hug right now. ❞

❝ i want everyone else to go away, but you can stay. ❞

❝ i actually do care what you think about. you're probably one of the only people whose opinion matters to me. ❞

❝ you always seem to know what i need. ❞

❝ you always seem to know just what i need to hear. ❞

❝ i want you to call me when you need someone. i want to be here for you. ❞

❝ you're the one i wanna call when i need someone. ❞

❝ seems like i always want you around when everything feels all fucked up. guess that means something. ❞

your soul is haunting me and telling me that everything is fine， but i wish i was dead (dead， like you).

Lucy Gray understood instantly. Her eyes darted to the Peacekeepers, none of whom were paying attention, and she leaned in and took a sniff of the compact. “Mm, you can still smell it, though. Lovely.” “Like roses,” he said. “Like you,” she said. “It really would be like having you with me, wouldn’t it?” // tbosas 195

“Lucy Gray said you smelled like roses,” said Maude Ivory… ���She said you were the only good thing about it, and now you’re here.” Maude Ivory gave his hand a tug. “You’re going to stay here, right?” “That’s the plan,” said Coriolanus. “I’m glad. I like you, and that will make her happy,” she said. // tbosas 384

"They won't resent me..." he starts, pausing for a second, dwelling on how he couldn't allow that to happen, "not when I'll be the best father I can be." Convincing himself he'll be exactly that, too. How can a child resent it's father if the father gives everything a child needs? "I don't disagree." About their child coming first, which is why he's ensuring their mother doesn't take them away from him. Everything going nicely until she mentions putting off the wedding... sitting back, the look of realization crossing his visage, so she is lying to him. "That's the part I do disagree... after their born, doesn't make sense." She's just trying to get out of it, seemingly. Which irks him.

❝ i'm glad you think so, darlin', ❞ she said, feigning an innocent tone, though she's sure he's pissed at her for the way she'd acted seeing as she was still angry at the way he acted. lucy gray would never understand why he thought he could lie to her and that everything would just be okay. even though she was pretending she was back to her old self again, she'd still keep that hatred for him locked deep down inside of her. he'd ruined the love she'd once had for him.

❝ okay, good, just making sure. i wouldn't want our baby to resent you for keeping them locked away. ❞ she knew that would add insult to injury, even if he was too proud to show her words' effects on him. ❝ i'm glad we're on the same page, because after all, our child should come first. ❞ making the switch from my child to our child was hard on lucy gray, selfishly wanting to be possessive over her baby, the one she'd carry to term in her body. it took two to make a baby, sure, but she'd be the one to provide for it more even before they're born. ❝ i think, too, we should put the wedding off. until after they're born. ❞ put it of for the fifth of never. she didn't want to marry him, to be trapped.

"Well, Billy Taupe and I are vastly different. And– you clearly deserved better, Lucy Gray. The lady should never pay." That was just the first rule of what it meant to be a man. How slummy of Billy Taupe. "Then that's what we'll do." he decides, wiping at his mouth with a napkin before balling it up, placing it on his plate. Going ahead and laying the tip money out on the table after he digs his wallet out. "What kind of question is that? When I'm sure I'd find myself glancing at you if you were just the girl across the table over there."

❝ are you sure ? i mean, billy taupe never paid for every single date. just a few. ❞ that was one of the many differences between coriolanus and billy taupe, it seemed. a small smile spread across her face at his words, eyes meeting his as he spoke. ❝ i think both of us deciding is a good idea, then, ❞ lucy gray told him softly, big brown eyes still locked on his, happiness that she hadn't felt in a long time was overtaking her. maybe catching billy taupe cheating was a blessing in disguise. maybe, she was meant to be with coriolanus. written in the stars, a voice in her head said, causing her smile to widen. ❝ do you think if we weren't in the same class you'd even pass me a sparing glance ? ❞ she wasn't sure she wanted to know the answer, but the question was nagging at her deep inside.

❝ you occupy my thoughts. day and night, even in dreams you're there. i want you to never stop haunting me. ❞

❝ i am yours, body and soul, to do with as you wish. ❞

❝ i don't require you to love me back, or to care for me as i do you. only let me be here, let me devote myself to you. that would be enough. ❞

❝ i want to trap your smile in a bottle and take it out when no one else can see. ❞

❝ you belong to me and i to you. ❞

❝ do not look away from me. i cannot bear it when i do not occupy your vision. ❞

❝ i will follow you. to the ends of the earth, to the very gates of hades and whatever might lay beyond. ❞

❝ i will always be here. no matter how far you go you can always come home to me. ❞

❝ tell me all the places you have been hurt, every rejection, every scar. let me love you in all the places where you have burned. ❞

❝ i will not ever let you go. ❞

❝ you cannot escape this. you cannot run away from the love we share. ❞

❝ what we have is deeper than words could capture. ❞

❝ i will be anything you desire. i pluck out the parts of me you find distasteful and stuff your love in the craters left behind. ❞

❝ tell me what you wish of me and i will do it. ❞

❝ i could spend all day merely watching the air in your lung. i would count every blink. i would cherish every sigh from your lips. i could watch you merely exist for the rest of my life. ❞

❝ don't let go of me. i think if you lost me i would die. ❞

❝ i will cut out the tongues of every man who has wronged you. ❞

❝ i wish i could crawl inside you and make a home out of the hollows of your bones. ❞
